Function Module IMPORT structures not recognized in form subroutines

Hello everyone,
Did some searching on SDN and didn't find the answer, so I apologize if this has been covered before.
Just finished my first Function Module. It's a remote-enabled (RFC) function that will be called by XI to do some processing. I have two components declared on the IMPORT tab, which we'll call "A" and "B". Both "A" and "B" are defined with a user type, each of which is a simple structure of 4-5 fields each. My Function Module also has two tables, and these are defined on the TABLES tab.
Here's my problem: When I do a syntax check, I get an error telling me that "A" and "B" are unknown. However, I only get this error where I reference "A" or "B" in the FORM subroutines I have declared at the end of my function.
I have my other data declarations defined globally in the "LZ...TOP" Include for my Function Module, so those don't pose a problem. But these are my Function Module parameters, so I can't go "declare" those as I already have them defined on the appropriate tabs.
Is there a way for me to get around this error and have them recognized globally, or do I have to resort to moving the values to some globally-declared "hold" field? I'm hesitant to have to add them as parameters passed into the FORM routines because I pretty much reference each of the fields within the structures for "A" and "B".
Thanks everyone. Points definitely awarded for helpful answers.

Dave,
The parameters are visible only in the main program of the function module. So, if the subroutines are directly in the main function, they you should not have a issue. But if you subroutines in an include and you are calling them in the main function, then the paramters are not visible in the subroutines. In that case you will have to hold the values in a globally declared tables.
Or you will have to pass them as parameters to Sub routines as well.

Ravi

Function Module " /Crystal/GET_FUNCAREA_CATALOG" not found

Good day Masters
I am not able to connect to our SAP ECC6.0 because of the below error
Function Module " /Crystal/GET_FUNCAREA_CATALOG" not found
is this function modules exists on the transport files ? do you think by executing the transport this problem will be resolved ?
and how we can execute the transport files from Basis perspective ,,, our basis tried to execute this transport to they got belw error
" file might be currapted "
Regards

Hi
your BASIS administrator should copy the transport files in the import queue and use the STMS transaction to import them in your system. Make sure to import the UNICODE version in the order as shown in the transports_<your language>.txt file.
Make sure that the files are indeed imported.
Which version of BOBJ are you using?

Function module RSD_ZIO_ALM02_TXT_GET does not exist

Hi
I am trying to copy the data from one info cube to another info cube with the read master data in transformation rule for some of the info object. This exercise I have done many times successfully for the same structure but suddenly I am getting this error without doing any changes
'Function module RSD_ZIO_ALM02_TXT_GET does not exist'
After getting this error I have delete the transfer rule for above object than the some error are coming for the another info object which also used for read master data.
Kindly help me .(we are working on ECC 6)

Calling a remote enabled function module which does not exist in caller sys

Hi,
I have a a system ABC from which I am trying call a rfc enabled fm(Test) present in system XYZ.
The fm(Test) does not exist in the system ABC so I am getting generation errors and dumps.
Is there a way for me to call these remote enabled function modules which does not exist in the caller system without the obvious errors etc.
Is there any special way.
Thanks

Hi,
please check this sample:
REPORT zcallfm                                 .
DATA: xv_return TYPE sysubrc.
CALL FUNCTION 'DOESNOTEXIST'
DESTINATION   'NOWHERE'
EXPORTING     caller                = sy-sysid
IMPORTING     return                = xv_return
EXCEPTIONS    system_failure        = 1
              communication_failure = 2
              OTHERS                = 4.
It shouldn't throw any generation errors in your system!

I upgraded my 3 yr old iMac to Snow Leopard and now my HP C4150 Scanning function doesn't work (not recognized). I downloaded updated Drivers from the HP site, but still no joy. Any suggestions?

I upgraded my 3 yr old iMac to Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) and now my HP C4150 Scanning function doesn't work (not recognized). I downloaded updated Drivers from the HP site and installed them, but still no joy. Any suggestions?

aspaceman,
Perhaps I owe you an apology. Having re-read that downloading from HP was unsuccessful I feel uncomfortable. Can I suggest you update your 10.6 system (as noted in your profile) to 10.6.8 (if it is not already there) by using the
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 combo update plus any software updates that then apply.

Request having function group released but function module attribute shows not released

Hi experts,
I am a beginner.
There is a transport request in which my function group and other objects were present . This transport request and its task were released . But if i check the attributes section of the function module that is present in that function group , it shows not released .
Is there some problem ? did the function module not get released with its group? It wasn't showing anywhere in the request even though i had added it during creation.
Here is the image :
Thanks,
Unnati

Hi,
Those two meanings of 'released' are unrelated. Don't worry about it.
Also, a function module sometimes does not explicitly appear in a transport request, if the function group is already in there.

Hi Baljit,
This is a dangerous way of extracting your data.
I am not surprised that it has become an endless loop.
You have to use the cursor and the fetch statement and after the fetch statement you have to use a subreturncode
to wonder if the fetch statement did get any data.
if not use the folowing statements.
close cursor s_cursor.
raise no_more_data.
In your situation the select statement will start every time from the first record in the table ysales because you don't use the cursor. By using the cursor and the fetch statement, the fetch statement will start from the cursor everytime it calls the function module.
I guess this function module is part of an endless loop and will be exited at the moment that the function module returns with raise no_more_data. (in other words, the cursor is at the last record of the table ysales, so no more records will be found)
Hope this will help
Maarten

Function module Global variables not cleared from memory?

Hi,
This is may be simple & stupid question ( after posting 4242 posts ):)
" Declaration in TOP
data : begin of i_y1yatt occurs 0.
        include structure y1yatt.
data : end of i_y1yatt.
types: begin of t_yatt71.
       include structure yatt71.
types: tcode like sy-tcode.
types: dflag type c.
types: end of t_yatt71.
data : i_yatt71 type standard table of t_yatt71
               with default key with header line initial size 0.
This is code in the function module.
loop at i_y1yatt.
    move-corresponding o_y1yatt to i_yatt71.
    if i_y1yatt-werks eq 'N501'.
       move space to i_yatt71-werks.
    endif.
    append i_yatt71.
    " Here this internal contains the previous entry
    clear i_yatt71.
endloop.
This function module is called 25 times in a minute.
My problem is this
For example : 1st tranmission is called this fm with 50 records,
and 2nd tranmission is called fm with 10 records.
My results are showing
last record in the 1st transmission is still on the memory while calling 2nd transmission. ( Here in int table I_YATT71 still contains the 1st transmission's last records during the 2nd tranmission call)
As per my knowledge if each time calls comes in to fm all gloabl variables get cleared. but some how this not happening.
Anybody come across this scenario.
PS. I know i need to use clear statement within the loop as first statement.
a®

You must understand that when calling a FM, you load the entire function group into memory. IF there are global variables, then they are "alive" for the entire duration of the program execution. Meaning if you call the function numerious times, or even if you call another function within the same function group, the functions still have access to that same global variable space, so it must always be cleared manually by the developer at the required points. You can not rely on the runtime to clear the global variables at the end of the function call. So you should clear all you globals as the first operation in your function module call, if that is what is required.
Is this clear?

Rich Heilman

Function module import parameter

I had used a bapi in the program and i got a dump.
then i recetified the dump. But kindly tell me the
reason .
My program is like this..
Report xyz.
DATA wa_bapireturn TYPE bapireturn.
DATA it_bapireturn LIKE TABLE OF wa_bapireturn.
DATA wa_bapisdstat TYPE bapisdstat.
DATA it_bapisdstat LIKE TABLE OF wa_bapisdstat.
PARAMETERS p_vbeln LIKE vbap-vbeln.
START-OF-SELECTION.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_SALESORDER_GETSTATUS'
    EXPORTING
      salesdocument = so_vbeln
    IMPORTING
      return        = it_bapireturn
    TABLES
      statusinfo    = it_bapisdstat.
now i got the dump because i have used
it_bapireturn for importing.
then i modified the program like..
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_SALESORDER_GETSTATUS'
    EXPORTING
      salesdocument = so_vbeln
    IMPORTING
      return        = wa_bapireturn
    TABLES
      statusinfo    = it_bapisdstat.
Now the program working fine because i passed
wa_bapireturn. please tell me why it happened like
this. How to know when to pass internal table and when to
pass just a structure.
And also tell me the difference bet type and type ref to.

As per the interface definition of the BAPI, it expects one workarea in the RETURN parameter.
but it_bapireturn was an internal table so was the dump
but wa_bapireturn is a work area so it worked.
You can check the interface of the Function Module to know what to be used. Usually work areas are passed in IMPORT AND EXPORT parameters and internal tables in TABLES parameters.
by using TYPE , we create a variable of a pre difined TYPE.
by using TYPE REF we create object of a particual class

IDOC_INBOUND_FROM_FILE function module and UNICODE not allowed ?

Hello all,
The IDOC_INBOUND_FROM_FILE function module doesn't allow inbound IDOCs to be processed if the UNICODE flag is set on with the WE21 transaction.
I turned on the WE21 UNICODE checkbox so that I could output characters in the extended set of UTF-8 characters. Most notably, I need to output the Euro Currency character (code 8364) and the em dash character (code 8212). This worked fine for my outbound files.
When I tried to import a normal 8-bit ASCII file with RSEINB00, the function module returns a code 8 because the UNICODE flag is set for the port. This is caused in form FIRST_RECORD_READ_AND_CHECK. The function module quits before the IDOC records are even processed at all. Look at the form code around line 168 of include program LEDINF01.
This seems very wierd since program RSEINB00 is commonly used for reading IDOC files.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Can anyone recommend a different function module or global class to use for inbound files?
Thanks
Ed Baker
P.S.
If any of you need a nice website illustrating characters available with UTF-8 encoding, try this one.

Hello Kiran,
at least the user needs to have the Role SAP_BC_SRV_GBT_USER in backend.
My only other idea is to check the existance of the plugin (WP-PI) in R/3.
But, in a similar situation (missing plugin in R/3) i got the ConnectorException "Failed getting the following function metadata from repository: URL_SERVER_TYPE_DATA_GET".
Perhaps a trace in R/3 could assist you?
Sorry, no more ideas, regards
